The trip, in short
A seven-day flying safari through Amboseli, Samburu and the Masai Mara, with two full days of game drives in each park.
This is the fly-in version of Kenya’s classic three-park circuit, built for travelers who’d rather spend their time on game drives than on the road. Light aircraft connect each leg — Nairobi to Amboseli, Amboseli to Samburu, Samburu to the Masai Mara — with each flight itself offering a different view of the country from the air, from Kilimanjaro’s slopes to the Rift Valley escarpment.
On the ground, each park gets two full days: Amboseli for elephant herds against Kilimanjaro, Samburu for its dry-country specials along the Ewaso Nyiro River, and the Masai Mara for open-plains game drives and, in season, the migration crossings. Accommodation throughout is upgraded tented camps and lodges chosen for setting as much as comfort.
What makes this one special
- Light-aircraft transfers between all three parks
- Elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli
- Samburu Special Five along the Ewaso Nyiro River
- Two full days of Masai Mara game drives
- Upgraded tented camps and lodges throughout
